I created a button wich opens a pdf file from my flash movie.  
Everything works fine until I close the pdf. It closes but the flash movie does not respond any more after that.  
Running Win XP, Flash MX, Acrobat 6

Any help?

what version of the adobe reader are you using?

v6 is causing a lot of troubles, and 5 is requiring you to ugrade to  
6. Both of which have causes freezing in various ways.

your best bet is to completely uninstall adobe reader, whatever  
version, and reinstall v6 fresh.
